I love the atmosphere here! The staff are always super friendly and the drinks are reasonably priced. There’s a patio outside which is a huge plus too! I see that they promote a lot of events, so I’ll definitely be back for one of those!

I Love attending the live lip-sync shows on Sundays. The performers are awesome, Patrick the sole bar tender is so good at his job, Patrick is polite to everyone, (and everyone wants their drink now), and he's quick to fill both food and drink orders. I do totally recommend this placeWheelchair accessibility: Walkway leads right into the building

It's a cool spot. Decent drink prices. Not 'extra' in terms of the people or vibe (those that know, know). The outside area is nice. The bar staff were chill.Parking wasn't a problem. It can go from quiet to everyone popping in at once, then back to quiet, which is a good thing. Good place to catch up with friends and not get drowned out by 'extra' shenanigans.

The bald bartender is a jerk (coke monster energy). I guess that is probably normal in the industry, but maybe don't be so obvious?

Can you please update your opening hours for Sunday to 5pm. It's an inconvenience from people coming from out of town to wander around the city thinking it was supposed to open at 4pm Thanks in advance!

Happened to come in for the first time with my boyfriend on a karaoke night. It was a blast! The atmosphere is fun and unpretentious, the drinks are awesome (and inexpensive for the size you get) and the service is great. We definitely want to come back soon!

Their new bartender, Jason, provides fast, efficient and friendly service. And even though he has many drag "frenemies," he can still put on an amazing drag show and bring the good vibes! Bear Dive is so lucky to have him!

Patrick was our bartender and he made our night. He was funny, customer service oriented and key us know of future events. My friend group is super into drag shows and are excited to visit future events. Drinks were fresh and delicious. Very chill vibe with South Park on the tv and chill music in the speakers. 10/10 recommend

Bear Dive is a nice, low-key bar with great vibes located away from your typical LGBT+ hot spots (Badlands/Depot, etc.). I came to two of their gamer events, which were a lot of fun. TVs were set up with different consoles, like PS5, Switch, XBox, and open to anyone to play. A huge plus is the music is never too loud, making it a good place for conversations with friends.

I came here for the first time with my husband for some drinks before going to a show. It was dead during the day which is totally fine for me because I'm such an introvert. The bartenders are always super nice, funny, and easy to talk to. They really know how to make you feel welcome. We came back tonight with a couple of friends who have encouraged us to play pool. There's one pool table in the middle which was intimidating at first but nobody bugs you. There's a guy that watches us play but is super kind and gives you advice. There's actually drag shows here as well, I mean the place seems big enough for that to go on. Everyone always seems chill and just wants to have fun. They have karaoke nights as well which we coincidently happened upon one night. There's an outdoor area with a few tables which make it nice for you to get some fresh air while also taking your drink. Easy 5 stars to give.

Stopped by today for a drink and fries and had a great time!! Omar was my bartender and he was wonderful! I would come back just for him ;) They have lots of events here. Today (Wednesday) they were having a gaming night and there were people setting up for it, looked like fun! All sorts of consoles...I think I would have stayed longer if they had a 64! :) Omar said they are doing a queer speed dating night soon which seems like it would be really cool to go to! Glad I went by....vegan burger on their menu for the vegans out there!!!!! With vegan cheese! Would recommend. Good music and friendly people. 100/10

Love the Bear Dive! Queer run, queer attended, and queer safe. You'll spot bears in the art and the people, but all kinds are welcome. Most dive bars feel cramped and full of unfriendly people, but bear dive is the opposite. Too much smoking on the patio for me, but it's a great gathering space indoor or outside. Food is greasy spoon dive bar food, love the fries and great drinks selection. Drag shows most Fridays and security after happy hour, when the kitchen closes. Dogs are welcome too!
